So we went to the local store and they have some 8/4 Cypress with a
few knots roughly 8" and 8' long. He tells us it is $5.80 BF, we
thank him and head back to work.
I whip out my handy dandy BF calculator (OK MS Excel) calculate how
much, add 20% for miscuts and knots, add the 7% for or non-seatbelt
wearing governor and get ~$400.
Does $5.80 sound right for Cypress? I can't find an online price
without placing an order.
Try :

They have it for $3.50, but
http://www.woodworkerssource.net/Mer...Cod e=Cypress
has it for $6.99. If could be that the higher priced offer would be cheaper,
if it is closer to you, shipping wise.
